If Zu has the skills we think he does and two more years on his contract, doesn't his salary explode in 2019/2020? That's not six years. That's three.
It wasn't your proposal, so I'll let khmrp weigh in, but Lin is on the Nets - and so is Brook. So, I take it that's the trade.
I'm less sold on that move because Lopez is actually a worse defensive player - at least statistically - than Monroe. And I mean by DRPM. He's...
I'm not sure what you're going for here, but I'll try to answer your questions in as straightforward a way as possible. Note that we're in the...
s***. Where did I assume that? When I suggested a contract of 4 years, $75m? They may match, but he's worth it - which is why you have to make the...
Actually, the salaries work without Thornton, so we don't need him. We could snag a vet who wants to play with Paul George. :)
Lol. Sorry. Marcus Thornton. But he was waived, so I'm not sure it would work. It could honestly be anyone on their roster for ~4M.
He's there to make salaries work.
A new crazy idea. JR, JC, Hou 1st for George. Sign Noel straight up, starting at 18M/year. (Don't like that, fine, but bear with me.) Trade...
BTW, for next year, the Pelicans have 92M sunk in contracts. For 2018/19, they have 64M without Cousins. If they want to keep him, it's probably...
That's exactly what happened with Cousins. Enormous investment, and they weren't about to make it.
A few quick thoughts on Centers... "Pure Centers" who are currently FAs 1. Monroe* - He's only 27, he can opt out, and he's a career 14/9 guy who...
Tens of millions - nearly $100M. But, honestly, I'm not certain he deserves it. Still, it's pretty bizarre for an incentive-based component of...
Without trade, Noel is the best available.

I'm thinking so, too.
Right now his career numbers are 18-6-3, which is good but not great. He's a four-time all-star, a one-time MIP, an all-rookie 2nd, an all-d 1st...
Serious question - for a friend: Would Ilyasova or Gallinari be a better fit for this team?
